Hi @7flash thanks for the application. Just a few questions:
- Has there been any adoption so far on the Polkadot side of things or is the momentum mostly on the ICP Galaxy App?
- I don't see any milestone tables present, I'm wondering if you forgot to include these? Could you add some concrete deliverables so we know what you want to build for this grant?
Thanks.

Thanks for the application. I have two additional questions/comments:
- there is almost no activity in your repo/org: https://github.com/galaxydo/galaxy-polkadot/ Why is this the case, and how do you plan to change this?
- Your Website says "trusted by Web3" and lists Polkadot next to it. How is Polkadot trusting your solution?
Excellent question about adoption. We don't have any users right now, at least not anyone I'm aware of. I think it's because we don't have a straightforward onboarding process, and although there might be some people already using our apps, even then we don't have any tracking in place to be aware of it. This leads us to realization of importance in having an actual shared place where users could upload, share, discuss, sell, and connect whiteboards, - GalaxyHub Web App. There are currently several ways to share whiteboards, - (1) Excalidraw Libraries, (2) Excalidraw-Obsidian-Plugin, (3) Galaxy-Polkadot, and (4) Galaxy-ICP, - but none of them actually provides a way to discover what others create in a way that would resemble something like Figma Community Templates (however, even latter one still missing marketplace features). Unfortunately, it's challenging to integrate a marketplace into either of those four existing apps, due to existing storage architecture not suitable for it, in each of these cases. Therefore, a complete rewrite of Galaxy Desktop Browser is needed, to fit into the system with GalaxyHub and two new modules: Galaxy Library Database Server and Library Access Management Pallette. I think will update the document to describe how it works in final version, and then will try to divide it into three milestones, while ensure that first milestone already demonstrates all four modules working together. Let me know if that makes sense. Regarding Galaxy-Polkadot app, it's stable in its current version as delivered, but please don't hesistate to open any issues you want me to fix. The same with landing website, it's available here: galaxydo/landing |

Thanks for the quick reply. Regarding the milestones, we need to have concrete deliverables for each milestone. See the template or any other application.
@7flash additionally, could you also please add a registered physical address to the Legal Structure section? Here is the template example for reference. Thanks! |
pinging @7flash btw if you don't want to provide a registered physical address on the application, you can send it to us privately by email grants@web3.foundation instead. |
@7flash I'm closing this application due to inactivity. Let me know if I should re-open it. |
Hi @keeganquigley sorry, the reason I haven't responded earlier, it's actually because I didn't want to steal your attention with notification of my comment, until I actually have something valuable to share. We've been experimenting with different architectures to advance in, and here today I finally recorded a video, where I described the rationale behind all the components of our system: Galaxy Desktop Browser, Library Database Server, Access Management Pallette, GalaxyHub Web App, and GalaxyEye Browser Extension: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyvInfv3sa8 Please, if you'd like to reopen this PR, then I'll add milestone descriptions shortly. Regarding legal structure, we don't have any entity registered yet. We're open to it once needed for any reason, but following hypha-inspired approach until then. |
Sounds good, thanks for the update @7flash will re-open. |

@7flash, please sign the CLA (see comment above) and add details to the milestones. Also, if you don't have a registered entity, you have to apply as an individual and replace the team info with yours.
